The joys of Spring

"I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils."

From 'Daffodils' by William Wordsworth

It's the first official day of spring today, though as a wise man once said:

"The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month." (Henry Van Dyke)

It is cold, wet and windy here today and couldn't feel less like a Spring day if it tried! Still, it's nice to feel that Spring is at least on its way.
